The Captain's RunA fantastic morning for a run and a huge crowd turned out for the Captains Run. Great credit must go to Noel O'Regan for organising this and continuing with the tradition. Of course things would not be the same without Edmond's "Magic Bus" for the cuppa and rumour has it that Midleton Distillery want to buy the bottle of whiskey for its museum as its been at the race so long and never been used it has become a collectors item. All proceeds will go to Carrigtwohill SVP and the full amount will be announced shortly.

Ryan very disappointed with his Mams time so he takes away the chocolates.

Helen says "anything Midleton can do Leevale can do better" of course we don't believe her..

Formed in 1966 Midleton Athletic Club is one of the few clubs in the Cork area that has both a juvenile section and a senior section as well. This blog will deal with the senior section. The senior section has a wide variety of members ranging from members in mid seventies to just out of juvenile. It is proud to boast that two of our members represented Ireland in the Olympic Games. Whilst most members nowadays seem to favour road running over the complete variety of distances from 3Km to marathon and beyond also X Country and track and field as well. There is an active social side to the club. Anyone wishing to join is welcome to try out for a session before committing to the club. The club trains on Mondays from 6pm in the Midleton College Cricket Field and on Wednesdays @ 7 pm in the Community Centre ( C2 5KM meet @6.30). Other group runs are organised amongst members during the week. New members are welcome anytime.
